Redshirt freshmen wide receiver Elliott Davis and tight end Micah Till have been dismissed from the NC State football team for violation of team rules, the school announced Monday. The exact violation has yet to be announced. The players are no longer listed on the 2015 team roster.
Davis was a three-star recruit out of Gaithersburg, Maryland and was redshirted last year as a cornerback before moving to wide receiver prior to this season’s spring practice. The depth at cornerback likely prompted the move, and his 6-foot-2 frame and limited high school experience made him a viable candidate for the position switch. However, he had not seen time in either of the Pack’s first two games prior to being dismissed.
Till was also redshirted for his freshman season last year. The 6-foot-6, 270-pound Upper Marlboro, Maryland native was a three-star recruit as a tight end. He saw time in the Wolfpack’s first game but did not post any statistics. He did not receive any playing time against Eastern Kentucky.
While the dismissal of these two players won’t impact the initial depth of the wide receiver and tight end positions, NC State will likely have to shift around its future plans with the departure of these two young athletes.
